Senate Vote: Bestiality in the Military is A-Ok

If you want proof that Senators don't read the bills they vote for, this should pretty much, seal the deal. At least, I hope that would be their defense because if it's not, each of the 93 senators who voted for it should be forced to resign and face a psychiatric evaluation.

The Senate on Thursday evening voted 93-7 to approve a defense authorization bill that includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, it also repeals the military ban on sex with animals--or bestiality.

On Nov. 15, the Senate Armed Services Committee had unanimously approved S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

Article 125 of the UCMJ makes it illegal to engage in both sodomy with humans and sex with animals.

It states: "(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Now that this has been brought to light, it will surely be brought down in the House but that's beside the main point. Why is it that people who are not paid to write or vote on legislation are continually having to find these problems?
